【Chapter 901】 Shocking news

That afternoon, Bay was still watching the 2014 Winter quarterfinals Federer vs. Wawrinka at Wimbledon, but when his figure appeared at London Heathrow Airport, it still attracted the attention of many reporters. New...

Since the Three Lions returned from the World Cup group stage, the interest of the English media and fans in the World Cup has plummeted. In addition to some necessary reports, more attention has been turned to Wen, who is in full swing.

For the Englishman who has lost his underwear in the World Cup, enjoying the warm glory behind closed doors is a bit like an ostrich burying the sand, but it is also the only choice to numb himself.

Bei was still watching the game at Wimbledon in the afternoon, but appeared at the airport in the evening. No matter who it was, he could guess that he was going to welcome heavyweight guests here.

Which of these journalists is not a smart person with a savvy mind?

When he saw Bei so serious, he immediately surrounded him like a fly that smelled rotten eggs, waiting to take good photos and grab good news.

What reporters noticed was that beside Bei, the Chinese youth who arrived in London from the "Ni Ni" a few days ago was also standing beside him, and the two of them were smiling.

At the beginning, the outside world thought that this young man was a staff member of Bei's assistant team. Now, seeing the two of them look intimate, they think their identities are not ordinary.

There is no portrait recognition system now, and Dapeng is not a well-known person, so naturally the reporters will not think of his identity at the first time.

However, with the development of the network, some active reporters immediately searched for relevant information through the network through information such as "Huaxia, Nini, Jinghu Group". Soon, Dapeng's photos and information were clearly presented to the reporters. It turned out that he was an important member of the "Xiao Family".

As a rapidly rising emerging consortium in the world, the "Xiao Family" has always been the focus of research by many financial and entertainment media, and its important members have also received attention and treatment like stars.

Xiao Dapeng was admitted to the School of Management of Peking University, and was one of the best in the fourth generation of the Xiao family. It can be foreseeable that his development space will not be available in the future.

Now that Dapeng has been confirmed, he and Bei are reminded of the purpose of staying in England at the same time. These reporters vaguely feel that they have encountered some fun things.

Involved in the "Minghu Group", there are a few sports and entertainment media in the airport alone. Many reporters from mainstream media and financial media also rushed to the scene after hearing the news. For a time, reporters gathered in the lobby of Heathrow Airport.

………

"David England's reporters are really dedicated!" Dapeng chuckled as he watched more and more reporters gather around him.

At the beginning, Dapeng and Bei were not very familiar with each other and seemed a little restrained, but they took the "Nini" together. They accompanied Bei in England for more than a week, and the two became familiar with each other.

Although Bei is an athlete, he has unique features in interpersonal communication and social affairs. The title of "Fantasy" is not enough to be handsome.

At this time, Dapeng understood why Uncle Jiu arranged himself by Bei's side. This summer's experience will have a positive impact on his future.

"England's media industry is the most developed in the world. There is fierce competition in both print media, television and radio and Internet!" Bei nodded and said, "Especially after News Corporation entered England, the situation of journalists grabbing news among journalists is getting more and more intense, and you will have a deeper experience in the future!"

Bei still admires the fourth generation of the Xiao family. After all, his English speaking has only taken one week since he was stuttering at the beginning to becoming more and more fluent now.

Now the executive president of Jinghu Group is in the same school as him and graduated from the same major. Dapeng's status may not be much lower in the future. Since Xiao Feng arranged him to the acquisition team, he might have the intention to let him enter the club management, so Bei would not be separated from him.

Bei once carefully studied a series of chapters published by Forbes magazine, and he had some understanding of the property distribution of members of the Xiao family. He knew that Dapeng's net worth was not lower than that of himself.

Dapeng owns 1% of the equity of "Jinghu Group" under his name, worth more than US$300 million. If "Jinghu Group" has an industry listed, it will also rise. Once Dapeng enters the work of "Jinghu Group" in the future, the equity of his name will continue to increase and his fortune will be endless!

In Europe and the United States, personal net worth can easily become an important indicator for measuring social status. If a young man who has billions of assets can gain enough respect and equality.

This is the iron law of the capital world!

Just as Bei and Dapeng were having a good chat, the reporters at the scene were also speculating that which big figure from the "Minghu Group" was about to arrive in London?

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng and his team took the "Anna" to set off directly from the "Dream Airport". The reporters were unable to obtain specific information from the Air Control Bureau with great power.

However, it was just those people who could be welcomed by Bei at the airport!

However, even if the reporters had a lot of ideas, they could not think that Xiao Feng came to England this time to acquire Newcastle United.

………

At 19:00 on June 28, London time, the "Anna" landed smoothly at Heathrow Airport. The airport opened a green channel for Xiao Feng and his party. They soon met with Bei and others who were waiting outside!

Seeing the two sides meeting, the flash lights around them were snow-white. The reporters handed out microphones and asked Xiao Feng’s purpose of this trip to London?

Xiao Feng smiled at the enthusiasm of the reporters, but did not reveal the answer, but told the reporters that there would be a result in a few days!

Looking at the team dressed by more than a dozen business elites behind Xiao Feng, and looking at Bei's solemn appearance, all the reporters realized that Xiao Feng's trip was not easy.

That night, news about Xiao Feng's visit to London became the focus of discussion among major media. Many media also speculated that Xiao Feng might enter the Premier League because of Bei.

Although such speculation is a bit amazing, it is not impossible. After all, Xiao Feng is not short of money and is good friends with the Gunners' boss Kroenke. It is normal to acquire a Premier League club due to this!

For a time, the media was extremely lively, and many paparazzi decided to stay near the Langham Hotel. I hope to take some heavyweight photos!

………

The Beckin family hosted a banquet to entertain Xiao Feng in the second phase of the ‘Bakingham Palace’ in West London. This was also the first time that Xiao Feng had an in-depth understanding of the luxury house that was highly famous in the media.

Since selling the 'Bakingham Palace' in Hartfordshire for £12 million, the Bay family has spent £40 million (about 400 million rmb) to buy a luxury home in West London and invested £5 million for luxury renovations.

Although the focus of the career of the Bay couple is in America, Victoria still hopes that the children will receive education in London, and it is reasonable to buy property in their hometown.

After dinner, Xiao Feng and Bei exchanged their discussions on the details of the club's acquisition. He was very satisfied with Bei's work performance over the past week.

Now, the club's acquisition of celebrities, fans and shareholders are already on Xiao Feng's side. The only remaining is Mike Ashley, who owns 80% of the shares.

Bei had already sent an invitation to Ashley to meet on behalf of Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng was not worried that this stubborn old man in England would choose to fight because he had a killer move in his hand!

After dinner, Xiao Feng and Dapeng took the extended A8 prepared by Audi and left the 'Bakingham Palace' and returned to the Langham Hotel to rest.

The paparazzi guarding outside Beckingham Palace and Langham Hotel did not get much valid information!

………

Stephen is an intern reporter at the Sun. Of course, he is more called the "paparazzi" by people, and is responsible for following celebrities and mastering first-hand information.

Early in the morning of that day, he was sent to the Langham Hotel to squat, hoping to take some substantial photos.

Stephen was somewhat reluctant to do this. After all, Xiao Feng was just a rich Chinese man. Although he was picking up at the airport last night, he held a banquet at the "Bakingham Palace".

But who told him to be just an intern reporter?

With a SLR camera hanging, Stephen leaned against a pillar, staring at the gate of Langham Hotel, for fear that Xiao Feng would slip away if he was not careful.

Fortunately, Langham Hotel was a hotel built two centuries ago. Even after several renovations and renovations, the main structure has not changed much. There is no underground parking lot. In this way, if guests who check in want to leave, they have to pass the gate, which also brings enough convenience to Stephen's follow-up.

Just when Stephen was bored, Bei's figure appeared in his sight, and the person who got off the Bentley with Bei was startled.

Stephen rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, he was really not dazzled!

"I finally caught it!" Stephen muttered in his heart, holding up his camera and taking pictures!

Although he is an intern reporter, Stephen still has a strong sense of news. Bet accompanied Newcastle boss Ashley to appear in the hotel where Chinese rich man Xiao Feng stayed. The amount of information contained is too great!

In Stephen's after his eyes, other media reporters who were squatting in the hotel were excitedly raising their cameras to take photos, and many people even began to rush to the hotel door.

However, they were soon stopped by the hotel security guards and private bodyguards, and could only watch Bet and Ashley disappear in the hotel lobby!

Stephen understood that he had caught a big fish and could not digest it alone, so he quickly called his immediate boss, Brian, and asked for support!

Like Stephen, the reporters present asked for help, and soon hundreds of reporters gathered around the Langham Hotel. At the same time, news of Chinese rich people contacting Ashley spread like wildfire!

This is simply a bombshell thrown in the English football world!

………

Since joining Newcastle United in 2007, Ashley has been opposed by Newcastle fans because of her stingy style, her behavior of often selling off the team stars and her high ticket prices in the club game, and is unpopular in Newcastle.

Since 2008, the news of Ashley's sale of the club has never been cut off. The consortiums that have had scandals with Newcastle have ranged from the United States to the East, and even the Chinese consortium.

However, these rumors ended up being lost. On the one hand, the offer was too low, and on the other hand, Ashley was reluctant to bring him a club that could bring him a lot of money.

Although Ashley owns 80% of the club's equity, support for him is almost non-existent, and protests asking him to sell the club often occur.

Times reporter Gee Caulkin is a well-known figure in the English football media. He once wrote "The Great Betrayal, Mike Ashley and the increasingly cheap Newcastle Dream" to criticize Ashley's idea of ​​running a club, and has won unanimous support from the fan base.

Among the 20 Premier League teams, Newcastle is also considered to be the most likely to change hands, but when rumors may become reality, it still shocked the English football world.

When Xiao Feng met Ashley in the hotel living room, the media began to have a heated discussion on Newcastle's issue, and some football celebrities began to be approached by reporters to ask for various opinions!

Last time, even the sensation caused by Birmingham being completely acquired by Yang Jiacheng was not as sensation as Xiao Feng's appointment with Ashley. After all, Birmingham and Newcastle are two completely different teams.

Birmingham is just a weak team in the Premier League and has always played the role of "lift". Its ownership has little impact on the Premier League landscape. It is insignificant.

Newcastle is different. Although he has never won the championship since the founding of the Premier League and has mediocre results on other fronts, it has the most loyal fans in England and is a qualified disruptor!

Because Ashley's pennilessness has left Newcastle without a better development. If it welcomes a boss who is not short of money, will it change the competitive situation in the Premier League like Manchester City?

Neither the media nor the football people are fools. Since Beck took Ashley to the Langham Hotel so high-profile, it means that the acquisition may have entered a critical stage and is even close to the transaction. Otherwise, the two parties to the transaction could completely avoid the media's eyes and ears to conduct secret negotiations instead of exposing them in advance, resulting in possible variables.

Such a conclusion quickly became a consensus from the outside world, and more and more reporters flocked to the Langham Hotel, and the nearby police had to come and maintain order.

At the same time, Newcastle celebrities such as Alan Sheerer, Kay Keegan, who had reached a consensus with Xiao Feng, and a group of shareholders also appeared in public in a tacit manner and accepted media interviews!

At this time, even the fool knew that Xiao Feng and Bei had already cleared many obstacles to the club's acquisition with their thunderous momentum and were well aware of the market's purpose of "fast, accurate and ruthless".

Half of the Premier League clubs have been acquired by foreign capital, so the people in England and football people are already accustomed to it and are a little numb!

The intertwined emotions of excitement and depression spread in England! (To be continued.)
